Assessment of the kidney function parameters split function, mean transit time, and outflow efficiency using dynamic FDG-PET/MRI in healthy subjects

Abstract Background Traditionally, isotope nephrography is considered as the method of choice to assess kidney function parameters in nuclear medicine. We propose a novel approach to determine the split function (SF), mean transit time (MTT), and outflow efficiency (OE) with 2-deoxy-2-[18F]fluoro-D-...
